Deadline extended to May 16, 2016
Excellence is something to be recognized and celebrated across the laboratory, and this year UChicago Argonne, LLC has established the Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion Award. This new award recognizes an employee who displays leadership in fostering and promoting a culture of diversity and inclusion. The recipient will have demonstrated efforts to achieve diversity and inclusion, including any of the following:
- An inclusive environment where diverse viewpoints are encouraged, appreciated and considered
- Drives positive organizational change through mentoring, staff development or leading by influence
- Shares best practices, develops partnerships, or supports retention and recruitment efforts
Nominees must be current Argonne employees for whom diversity and inclusion is not part of their formal job description. Of particular interest are leaders who have promoted a culture of diversity and inclusion within their workforce and who have developed metrics and measurements to assess progress. Those leaders who include diversity and inclusion as the central aspect of their job responsibility (e.g., team members of the Leadership Institute or Human Resources – Recruitment) are not eligible for consideration.
Nominations are open to all employees and self-nominations are also welcome. To submit a nomination, fill in the nomination letter and attach supporting documents. The deadline for receipt of this letter is May 16, 2016, and must be submitted electronically to Cindy Wilkinson, ext. 2-5561.
